Abstract : Introduction: According to the WHO, malnutrition is a pathological condition resulting from the relative or absolute deficiency or excess of one or more essential nutrients, whether this condition is clinically manifested, or whether it is detectable only by biological, anthropometric or physiological analyses. To study the epidemio-clinical profile of severe acute malnutrition without complications in children aged 6-59 months in the Fakola health area from 2021 to 2024.  Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study. Severely malnourished children aged 6-59 months without complications from 2021 to 2024 are included and children whose records were not usable are not included. Used malnutrition registers, malnutrition monitoring sheets, consultation registers. Done exhaustive sampling. The data is analyzed in Epi Info version 7.6.2. We calculated the proportions, frequencies, ratio, the mean with its standard deviation, the rate.  Results: These were children aged 6 to 59 months with severe acute malnutrition without complications during the study period. We obtained a coverage of 116% in 2024, a male/female ratio of 0.90.53% female, the most represented age group was 6-23 months i.e. 89%.95% vaccinated, 52.43% a good appetite test, weight gain of 0.93, average length of stay 67 days, a cure rate of 75% in 2024 and a dropout rate of 25% in 2024. Conclusion: Malnutrition is a problem in the process of good growth and psychomotor development of the child. Nutritional monitoring, early active and passive detection, exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months, complementary feeding, supplementation and awareness would allow us to avoid or reduce the disease and its sequelae.
